I went to see The Hobbit film last night, and when I got home, I saw that Laura Dockrill had tweeted a link to this 11-minute animation.

Stanley Pickle is made up of still photographs run together, very old-school, and it works well with its clockwork theme. Here you go, I thought you might like it:
